Well it's back to work for me today with a great deal of trepidation. Having said that, if there's one thing I've learnt from this journey it's to face the fear and do it anyway
Today I'm heading to work with pretty much no nicotine in my system, it's going to be very interesting and I'll admit it's a bit scary BUT buried somewhere deeply in my handbag is a pack of mini lozenges for emergencies, and I have to do this at some point so why not today
Actually it's quite exciting, like a little adventure - this could be fun!!! I am now feeling positive and looking forward to the challenge -
What ever challenges you face today, stay positive and be happy and remember NOPE - you can do this! xx

Oh I do love a good wedding, such great social occasions and you get to dance and everything! So it sounds like all went very well and you had a great time, now knowing me, I would have booked to day off to recover!!! How was your day? xx
I've only been lurking behind the scenes over the weekend as I had way too much see through milk on Friday evening - resulting in a whole day lost on Saturday I had a whole 'never-again' day!
However, I went out again last night to Liverpool Echo Arena and 'got on down' with Dolly Parton She was absolutely fantastic and I would well recommend that if anybody gets the chance to see this lady, then do it
Chrissie: I hope you are having fun with the lovely Danielle You were up and about really early before work today - If you need your lozenges, then don't be shy on using them Stay strong, you can do this

Wow, it was the morning when I first started typing all of the above!!
Latest news on our lovely JillyGirl is that she is now at home and not too happy that she has to rest up - She is under the watchful eye of Nurse Sarah and so I'm sure she'll have to do just as she is told
Right, best I get the kettle on!
